[Anheanz]

Hi all,

I was just wondering is EVGA makes good ram? i've never heard of EVGA ram before so ic ant find anything on it anywhere? Heres the link to the ram in question:

They reaching out and testing the waters, what I've seen is a very few very basic sets, they list them in your ad as 'high performance premier overclocking DRAM' , problem I see with that initially is it's 1600/9 which is basic entry level, most 1600 that is considered high performance or good for OCing is CL7 or 8. Some of their others are 2133/11 (again slow 2133/9 is far better, 1866/9 where 1866/8 is more high performance. Finally found my bookmark, more on it here:

Hmmm thats what i was thinking seeing the timeing and everything. Do you think it would be fine to get those, they seem like theyre pretty cheap for a 16 gb kit or just go with a Corsair or G. Skill kit for a little bit more?

If you're OK with the timings, can give them a try (and of course, let us know what you think of them 😉 ), I'll probably pick some up to play with once I find a little more, am interested in finding who actually makes them first...

Alright sounds good, i'll probably just go with those then. Will let ya know how they work out.
Thanks

EVGA RAM only has 3 year warranty. It looks like they just rebranded cheap memory.

That's what AMD did with their Radeon DRAM, had Patriot and VisionTek make it for them.

I buy crucial Kingston and corsair ram in that order they carry lifetime a warranty.

Lifetime Warranty on my EVGA ram, IDK what the hell you're talking about. I'm getting it today open box, 67$ cl11 2400 I'll update this thread because the OP (like so many others) doesn't give a <mod edit> about information unless it's given to him.

yo yo yo my bad! I got 16gb (2x8) kit at 1600 mhz speed and it has worked flawlessly, absolutely no issues what-so-ever! Has worked really well, would recommend to anybody.
